MELA, Pomponius. De totius orbis descriptione. Edited by Geoffroy Tory. Paris: Gilles de Gourmont for Jean Petit, 10 January 1507. [Bound with:] Cornelius NEPOS. Probi Aemilii de Excellentibus imperatoribus. [Milan]: Nicolaus Gorgonzola, n.d. [ca. 1511]. [With:] Gaius Julius SOLINUS. De memoralibus Mundi. Paris: Jean Petit, [after 13 July 1503]. [With:] Marcus Junianus JUSTINUS. Historia ex Trogo Pompeio... Lucii Flori Epithomata in decem Titi Liuii decadas... Sexti Ruffi... de Historia Romana. [Paris: Jean Petit, ca. 1515].
4 works in one volume, 4° (195 x 132mm). Woodcut devices of Petit on titles of first, third and fourth works, device of Nicolas Gorgonzola on title of second work, 4 other woodcuts from 3 blocks in final work. (Very light dampstaining in first and final quires.) Contemporary English panel-stamped calf over wooden boards, (repaired and rebacked in calf), 2 fore-edge clasps (missing thongs) fastening on back, endpapers from a printed, early 16th-century grammatical work, spine liners from an English MS. on vellum; the panels (Oldham Panels HE.26 and RO.21) were used by the London binder John Reynes. Provenance: William Warham, archdeacon of Canterbury (d.1557).
This is one of several volumes owned by William Warham, archdeacon of Canterbury. He was appointed to the archdeaconry by his uncle, archbishop William Warham, and several of his books survive, all but one of which was bequeathed to him by the archbishop. The present book contains the archdeacon's inscription only, and thus was acquired on his own behalf. In contrast to the volumes at New College, Oxford, which are standard legal texts, this tract volume, combining geography, history and classics, offers insight into a more personal side of Warham's reading interests. Its contemporary London binding is very well preserved. (See D. Shaw, "Books belonging to William Warham, archdeacon of Canterbury, c.1504-1532," Bookbindings & other Bibliophily: Essays in honour of Anthony Hobson, edited by D.E. Rhodes, Verona: 1994.) Adams S-1388 (Solinus); Adams J-719 (Justinus).
